Donald Trump's approval rating on economy now equal to Barack Obama when he left office, new poll indicates
In a poll released Tuesday, President Donald Trump’s approval rating on the economy, the issue he achieved the highest marks on, just about equals that of his predecessor Barack Obama’s when he left office.
By comparison, Obama’s average approval rating on the economy from January 12 to 17, 2017, right before his tenure ended, was 57 percent, just one point above Trump’s, according to Real Clear Politics. The four polls included in the average calculation were Economist/YouGov, CBS News, ABC News/The Washington Post and CNN/ORC.
